so I’ve had problems getting linux to actually setup properly but the functional preview on the boot USB stick itself works without issue, so can I just run it that way, or is that going to limit functionality in some way?

You could install an SSD into an external enclosure and use that as a bootable USB drive.
I did that when I upgraded my M.2 to a larger size.
Yeah, you can. I had to run my file server with the OS on a USB-connected SSD for a few months since I was using all of the internal bays/connectors for the data drives (some of my re-build parts were back-ordered). OP seemed to be implying a thumb drive so I kept my experience to that.
